Default RE: Why pull back to go up?

To see how it REALLY feels natural to pull for climb, push for dive, do it in a full size plane. Transmitter sticks are just set up the same way full size a/c controls are. You gotta feel it in the seat of your pants to fully understand why.
Wow. I almost bought this. Unfortunately the controls were established before even moterate climbs or dives were.

I'm sure if you reversed the control for elevator and taught somebody that had no clue it would be no different for them. Anybody have a young child to sacrafice?

Say the stick suddenly broke off in flight with you sitting in the cockpit holding it, and you went into a dive - what would you do? - lean forward?, ( yeah right! ).
That's when the suction factor kicks in.
